IBM Presents 6.0 Ghz Processors

Probably not for the enthusiast market, but IBM is going to be showing 6.0 Ghz CPUs in February that are based off its Cell Broadband Engine processor. Thanks Firing Squad.

The first-generation Cell Broadband Engine chip, co-developed by IBM, Sony, and Toshiba, has just appeared in Sony's PlayStation 3 game console and can run at 4GHz. The second-generation chip will run at 6GHz, according to the ISSCC program. In addition, the new chip will have a dual power supply that increases memory performance--a major bottleneck in computer designs today.
